How We Say It

Always takes me a bit of downtime to process and contemplate the experience.

We were blessed to have Dr. Yossi Paz,

archeologist, as our guide for the third time.

We were blessed to have the opportunity

to met his gifted and talented daughter.

(am choosing to not share her name here)

Israel is always in the news.

Today it is again-Amona.

In the past I have shared blog posts

during Lent from the places

we have visited in the Holy Land.

Pilgrimages surely, thoughtful connections.

I will do that again this year.

But in between conversations and gatherings,

I will have these phrases that connected- in and out of teaching times, devotions, moving folks on and off the bus,

and once in awhile motivating us

to see just "one more" thing.

For a man passionate about sharing

his love of land and history to meet our faith,

I share the collected list of

"Yossisms".

Israel is boringly safe.We need you here.Coffee in, coffee out.The weather is on our side.For the highly motivated among you.It's not over until it's over....but almost.Lack of proof cannot become proof of the lack.It's "Trump-style".....you have rules, and then there are rules for us!Navigate space and time to get you there.I know I talk too much, but I need to bombard you with this information.Next time you come, I promise to take you there.My problem is now your problem.(When a question was asked)- Now you will all be punished because I must answer.Touristic trapibex and her "cub"Ritual "bathes"I give you 3 1/2 minutes of peace.Let me tell you this....Ladies and gentlemen- Follow me.Pray for us- we need your prayers.Now I will filibuster for awhile.We'll do this the Jewish way.Ladies and gentlemen- the best is yet to come!After consulting with upper management......Any further questions? (when no question has been asked)
